Since the debuff is a physical effect instead of magic or curse it cannot be dispelled by usual dispel mechanics, which may prove to be useful if you're trying to prevend something like a restoration druid from going stealth.

As of 7.0 the debuff is now considered Magic and can be dispelled.

It's finally back. Siphon Life was originally a talented DoT from the beginning of WoW all the way up to Patch 3.1, and is making its return with Legion.

It's better this time too. It costs no mana, fully benefits from crit, and is undispellable. There's no target limit, so it can be spammed on everything just like SL/SL locks used to do. Refreshing it early will extend its duration to 20 seconds.
